Hi, I’m Karen, a Conservation Photographer and Washington State Master Naturalist. My home base is the Inland Northwest.

I am a storyteller who creates photographs of plants, animals, landscapes, and the people who protect, understand, and live with them.

Our local Land Trusts are an invaluable tool for habitat conservation.

They work tirelessly to purchase land or create easements that help connect existing habitats or protect highly valuable tracts of land. These properties are selected for reasons such as biodiversity, water storage, and lately, their ability to mitigate carbon sequestration.

Many of these lands are open to the public, some are eventually sold to State or Federal entities who manage them into the future.

Land Trusts encourage the community to help with stewardship responsibilities. Many volunteers and Land Trust staff offer educational talk and hikes, participate in community events, restore habitats, and repair community connections to the land.

I volunteer and work with Land Trusts because I believe in their work.
